what does oln stand for?

OLN = Outdoor Life Network. 🙂 OLD is the dimension you're thinking of.

Over locknuts - width between outer faces of the locknuts on the hub.

Perhaps for those anamoured of the conventional OLN stands for most anything *they* want.

I ride a single bike with a160 mm OLN rear hub, know what OLN stands for and pay attention to its
proper use. I'm not going to spend nearly a thousand bucks with some one that misuses the language
or (NOT and) makes TOO close an association between hub dimensions and number of cogs.

See in the context of rear wheels, oln given in mm presumably the distance between the dropouts.
Usually 130 or 135; occasionally 120. Road MTB and older road? Thanks.

Well, the "OL" stands for "over locknut." That is the distance measured

over

the locknuts of the wheel hub (same as the inner dimension between the frames dropouts).

For road bikes, the old five speed wheels were 120 mm, six speed were 126 mm, 7,8,9,&10 speed are
130mm. Mountain bikes are 135mm.
